Will Smith honoured his wife Jada Pinkett Smith as a positive role model for young women at the Black Girls Rock! event in New Jersey on Saturday night (28Mar15). The Men in Black star was among the celebrities on hand for the annual gala, which is held by the organisation of the same name, that aims to uplift young black girls.
Pinkett Smith, along with the couple's teenage daughter Willow Smith, was on hand to receive the Star Power award for setting a positive example and it was given to her by her actor husband.
Before presenting his wife with the prize, Smith gushed about her, even alluding to recent rumours that suggested they were heading towards a split after nearly 20 years of marriage.
He said, "In that brief moment my heart jumped for a second and I started to imagine what my life would have been like without that woman."
When Pinkett Smith took to the stage to accept the accolade, she encouraged young black women to be aware of their own strength, saying, "I need you to understand that we are the women who marched from cotton fields into fields of medicine... politics... entertainment. We have found a way to march into a White House."
Incidentally, First Lady Michelle Obama was also on hand to give a speech to the crowd and the other honourees, including singer Erykah Badu, actress Cicely Tyson and Selma director Ava DuVernay.
Singers including Jill Scott, Estelle and Sister Sledge were among the performers.
The four-hour event held at Newark's New Jersey Performing Arts Center will air in America on 5 April (15).

Stars including Ashton Kutcher and Miley Cyrus have waded into the debate over a controversial new law which has been passed in Indiana amid fears it could lead to discrimination against gay couples. Star Trek actor George Takei was so outraged by the passing of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which many claim could allow businesses to turn away homosexual customers, on Thursday (26Mar15) that he called for a major boycott of the state.
Now more high-profile names have spoken out against the act and taken aim at Indiana Governor Mike Pence for signing the bill into law.
Pop star Cyrus posted a picture of Pence on her Instagram.com page and added in a caption, "You're an a**hole (Governor Mike Pence)... The only place that has more idiots (than) Instagram is in politics... We need more strong heterosexual men fighting for equality in both men and women! Why are the macho afraid to love muchoooo?!? (sic)"
Hollywood actor Kutcher also expressed his rage via Twitter.com and praised bosses of a software company for joining a business boycott of the state, writing, "Indiana? Seriously? Really? Bravo Salesforce for taking a stand... Hope more companies follow... Indiana are you also going to allow Christian establishments to ban Jews from coming in? Or Vice Versa? Religious freedom??? #Outrage."
Former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek tweets, "If you say you love this country for its freedoms, but want to deny gays the same freedoms you enjoy, you sound like a hypocrite... And - just to clarify - 'freedom' is the right to live how you choose. It's not the right to choose how everyone else lives... Also - I remember Jesus saying 'Don't judge...' & 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' I don't recall him saying it was cool to discriminate."
Actress Sophia Bush vowed to avoid the state in future, writing, "Whelp. I live in the Midwest now, but I won't be visiting Indiana any time soon..." while other critics of the new law include fun. star Jack Antonoff, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, actress/singer Audra McDonald, New Kids on the Block star Jonathan Knight and former child actress Mara Wilson.

The actress granddaughter of iconic author Ernest Hemingway has accused filmmaker Woody Allen of attempting to seduce her when she was 18 years old. Mariel Hemingway, 53, had a breakthrough role in Allen's 1979 film Manhattan, in which she played the actor/director's significantly younger love interest in a role which earned her an Oscar nomination.
In her new memoir, Out Came the Sun, Hemingway suggests that Allen wanted to be more than just friends off screen when she was 18 years old and he was in his 40s.
In an excerpt from the tome obtained by Fox News, Hemingway writes, "Our relationship was platonic, but I started to see that he had a kind of crush on me. Though I dismissed it as the kind of thing that seemed to happen any time middle-aged men got around young women."
The actress then recalls that Allen flew to her parents' home in Idaho and allegedly suggested that she and him take a trip to Paris, France together. Hemingway admits she became concerned they would have to share a room together, and subsequently pulled out of the trip.
She writes, "I wasn't sure if I was even going to have my own room. Woody hadn't said that. He hadn't even hinted it. But I wanted them (my parents) to put their foot down. They didn't. They kept lightly encouraging me. No one was going to get their own room. His plan, such as it was, involved being with me... (I asked him) 'I'm not going to get my own room, am I?'... (so I told him) 'I can't go to Paris with you.'"
The actress writes that Allen left the next morning on his private jet.
Hemingway's memoir Out Came the Sun is set for a release on 7 April (15).

Have you ever sat down to watch a movie, only to be entirely disappointed by a review that you'd read saying it was good? Have you ever decided to watch a film with an idea of what it would be in your head, only to realize it's completely different? These are problems each of us face quite frequently nowadays thanks to Netflix, but we have a feeling the reviewers below encounter problems watching films more often than most people.
1. This dude, who seems to have been traumatized by the first 7 minutes of West Side Story.
2. This guy, who either should have never had children or never have rented Furry Vengeance.
3. This lupine lover who was easily misled by The Wolf of Wall Street.
4. This person who wasn't clear about at what point they became disgusted by The Wolf of Wall Street.
How many times can Gavin watch cocaine-anus (is it called cocainal?) activities before becoming disgusted. We hope just once.
5. This scholar who didn't think Up in the Air was on his intellectual level.
6. This person who just couldn't read The Book of Eli.
7. This person who is simply sick of dogs like Air Bud taking job opportunities away from the deserving.
That dog learned to play basketball, which I can't even do. He earned that spot on the team.
8. This overly emotional person who's unfamiliar with the concept of narration.
Don't worry, Morgan Freeman is not trapped in March of the Penguins. There's a much more logical explanation.
9. This Spring Breakers fan who very reasonably expected smaller nipples.
10. This Spring Breakers-watching wife who can't be fooled.
11. This parent whose child thinks she's talented because she watched Pitch Perfect.
Good luck with breaking the news to your talentless daughter, Karla!
12. This questionable parent who definitely ruined The Adventures of Milo and Otis for his kid forever.
13. This monster-in-law who has malicious intentions for her copy of A Field in England.
14. This Sixth Sense viewer who sees past Bruce Willis' film choices.
15. This guy who watched Alien and thought, "women, amiright?"
16. This "miscreant" who was reminded of the multitude of injustices white men face daily by a hard-hitting film, Shrek.
17. This guy who understandably dismissed Predator 2.
18. This somewhat responsible alcoholic who may have missed the significance of Bowling for Columbine.
19. This viewer questioning the gender politics of The LEGO Movie's "Where Are My Pants?"
Isn't it about time we stopped letting super harmful social movements like feminism from trickling into our family-oriented movies? If this keeps happening, these kids might grow up to treat each other with respect! And THEN WHAT?
20. This mysterious person who's oddly secretive about his feelings for Rocky III.
21. This man who was able to immediately see the connections between 42 and the Illuminati's reptilian royalty.
Also, Mr. Snell, if you're reading this, I think you'd really enjoy this episode of The X-Files about a black baseball-loving alien.
22. This protective parent who does not support the human-robot relations depicted in Big Hero 6.
23. This person whose friendship with Carl was destroyed by The Expendables 2.
Carl had questionable taste anyway. #OnToTheNextOne
24. This Birdman hater who we wouldn't recommend Batman or Spider-Man to.
25. This man who we would never want to go to dinner and a movie with. How did Casino even do this to him?
And why did he take his pants off to vomit in? If he had that much time to prepare, couldn't he have found a more proper receptacle? So many questions.

Actress Salma Hayek has reversed her views on feminists and is now proudly using the term to describe herself as she is "ready to fight for women's rights". Just before the Frida star was honoured for her ardent support for gender equality in November (14), Hayek said in an interview that she did not consider herself a feminist.
She told People magazine, "I am not a feminist. If men were going through the things women are going through today, I would be fighting for them with just as much passion. I believe in equality.
"It should not be just because I am a woman. It should be a reflex, if someone else is being hurt, to help. It shouldn't have to be because you are being a victim too. I work a lot for domestic violence, and people often ask me if I have experienced it. And I say, no, on the contrary - my father is a great man, my husband is a great man. But we are all human beings, no?"
But in preparation for International Women's Day on Sunday (08Mar15), Hayek changed her thoughts on the term in an interview with U.K.'s The Guardian, saying, "I am a feminist because I love women and I am ready to fight for women."
She added, "I am a feminist because I am proud to be a woman, and I am passionate about making the world a better place for women. I am a feminist because a lot of amazing women have made me the woman I am today. I am inspired by women every day, as friends and as colleagues."
On Sunday, Hayek closed out London's Women of the World Festival by giving an empowering speech to women before screening her new animated film The Prophet, inspired by Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran's poetry essays.

Leonardo DiCaprio's supermodel ex Bar Refaeli is reportedly engaged to wed her businessman boyfriend. Adi Ezra, 40, is said to have proposed to the 29-year-old beauty during a romantic vacation in the Caribbean and she said yes, according to Israeli news outlets.
The couple has been dating for the past year after meeting through mutual friends.
The supermodel has yet to comment on the news, but if it's true, the marriage will be Refaeli's second - she previously wed a family friend in 2007 to avoid compulsory military service in her native Israel for single men and women over the age of 18. They subsequently divorced.
Refaeli dated DiCaprio on and off from 2005 before calling it quits for good in 2011.

Actress/comedienne Tracey Ullman is set to return to British TV screens after departing England for the U.S. 30 years ago. The Tale of Despereaux star first found fame on U.K. television in the 1980s in shows including A Kick up the Eighties and Three of a Kind before she relocated to America to launch multi-award winning programme The Tracey Ullman Show on U.S. network Fox.
Now the self-titled show has been recommissioned by the BBC for a six-part series.
She tells BBC, "It's a privilege to be doing this... The BBC has changed a bit since the last time I worked here, when it was all men in bow ties who had completed National Service.
"Now there are a lot more women. Great ones. The important things haven't changed, though. The BBC still provides an environment that allows you to the freedom to create the best shows possible."
Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, adds, "It's about time the Americans gave her back. Tracey has been the missing gem in the British comedy crown for too long. Talent doesn't come much bigger and the BBC audience is in for a huge treat."

Actor Mark Wahlberg has teamed up with Indian Motorcycle bosses to create a limited edition unisex clothing line. The Ted star and avid motorcycle rider has joined forces with the Massachusetts-based bike manufacturer to design T-shirts for both men and women.
Wahlberg first met with company bosses at the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota last year (14), and when they asked the Boston native to be their brand ambassador, he jumped at the chance.
He tells Women's Wear Daily, "It was an excuse for me to be able to ride again and for my wife to say OK. It's great because my sons like to ride little 50s (dirt bikes), and we live in a gated community so we ride around the neighborhood. If I am given the OK, I love riding around in the Canyons."
And Wahlberg reveals he has had plenty of input on the designs of the clothes, a very different experience than when he shot to fame as an underwear model for Calvin Klein.
He says, "We got to go in there and make sure that it represented us both and that it made everybody happy. When I did the Calvin Klein thing, I was basically just a model-for-hire. They weren't really interested in my input."

Actress Michelle Williams sends Frozen star Kristen Bell a note once a month to thank her for taking a stand against magazine editors who publish photos of stars and their kids. The Brokeback Mountain star, who is mum to the late Heath Ledger's daughter, admits her life has never been better now she's not hunted down by paparazzi every time she hits the streets with her kid, and she credits Bell and her husband Dax Shepard's No Kids Policy for naming and shaming the publication editors who ignore the calls from concerned celebrity parents to stay away from their children.
Williams tells Elle magazine, "Men and women in suits were cashing cheques off of my daughter's face. There are so many problems with that.
"But Kristen has made it so much easier for these kids to live in a world that is friendly and that they can trust. Every month I send her a gushy, 'You don't know what you've done' note. Now my daughter and other kids aren't scared to walk down the street any more. It's like a miracle."

Pop star Katy Perry was overcome with emotion during a visit to the site of Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz on Wednesday (25Feb15). The Firework hitmaker performed in Krakow, Poland on Tuesday (24Feb15) as part of her ongoing world tour, and she spent her day off on Wednesday visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.
She uploaded a picture on Instagram.com of the grounds and added, "My heart was heavy today" before sharing a quote from a plaque commemorating those who died in the camp during the Holocaust in the 1940s.
The note reads, "For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity, where the Nazi murdered about one and a half million men, women and children mainly Jews from various countries of Europe."
Perry's Prismatic World Tour will next stop in Vienna, Austria on Thursday (26Feb15).
